I know certain types of hearing aids and implants can actually make it physically difficult to manage the straps on a mask. But then, again, they can just have someone shop for them and deal with it.

I don’t know the specifics on the pie thing, I’d have to check. It’s possible it could be some sort of ‘have to move inventory to get more’ thing, I dunno. Could just be corporate ass-covering. All I know is that when the pies are on sale, it’s because the manager has been told by their boss (usually a franchisee)…

I’m sorely tempted to get the stuff to make this, because it sounds intriguing. However, I know my roommate would refuse to try it because he’s boring, and I’m not sure if I want to go to the trouble just for myself. Hm.

The visual novel (of a sort) 428: Shibuya Scramble, which uses extensive still photos and occasional live-action footage, was shot on location throughout Shibuya. And the director there did the same thing, with crewmembers whose job it was to get arrested by the cops and slow them down long enough for everyone else to…

Beautifully put. I remember watching this when I was, I wanna say, 13 or 14 when it first came out on VHS, and I remember having heard of the effort they’d put into making Martin Short look like a kid and all that (like the ‘maze’ built into the floor for the party sequence) and being legitimately impressed by said…

And yes, this violates the same ethics laws that his daughter’s tweet flouted the day before.

While I do hope people enjoy this, I’ve seen enough TV and webcomics in this vein over the years that the trailer doesn’t really show me anything I haven’t seen before.

Not gonna deny, a spinoff about the Bad Batch A-Teaming it around the galaxy is something I’ve been dying to hear about ever since that final season of Clone Wars.

Similarly, when you go through a fast food drive-thru and they go out of their way to tell you about a two-for-one deal with their pies or what have you, take that as a sign that they’ve got a bunch they need to move quick before they go bad. Learned that from my roommate from when he worked at McD’s.

And yet that name is probably the second-most-interesting thing about him, after the coat. ‘Generic growly video game protagonist’ is an unearned compliment given his personality, IMHO.

Nope. But because ‘prospective reader picks up book, notices woman wrote it, puts it back down’ is a thing that happens (not as much now as it used to be, but it’s still pretty bad), a lot of women will use their first two initials and last name as a gender-neutral pen name. And when the first Harry Potter book was…

Honestly, it’s even funnier given that she actually didn’t even have a middle name until she needed one for the second initial in her pen name. So it may as well be ‘Karen.’

Aside from Popeye’s and Chick-fil-A, basically none of these are near where I live. That said, I’ve eaten at First Watch on trips and it’s good to see they’re expanding well. I’ve always had a positive experience there. They’ve also probably got the best coffee I’ve ever had in a restaurant that wasn’t,like, a…

I’ve been waiting for this to come out on the Xbox, though I have been wondering... does this include the ‘guided imagery’ mission guest-starring Hideo Kojima that was PS4 (and hacked PC) exclusive? I’d heard in passing early on that that mission would be part of the season pass for Xbox players, but haven’t heard…

He also used to be a prolific artist for Legend of the Five Rings (particularly back in the AEG days) and was part of the community there, too. He did the artwork for one of my favorite cards, and I’ve got a playmat of that art signed by him. So that’s a pleasant memory of the game tainted now.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate hearing that.

So I just got caught up via Netflix, and I really loved this episode and the prior one. Admittedly, I thought the season lagged slightly while they were focusing on gathering the pieces of the loom and such — it felt a little ‘garden-variety Supernatural plot’ to me, with a slight dip in the proper Legends…

I can’t help but imagine that someone floated the idea during the writing or production stages, only to get overruled by just how much trouble that would be to get right without using actual glitter, which means that they would still be cleaning it off of various costumes, props, and sets a couple of years from now.

So I’m a little behind schedule on this one, partially because I stream the episodes (legally) and the uploads have been coming on average a day later than they should be for some reason, partially because of just life getting in the way, and partially because I’ve had to rack my brain a bit trying to come up with a…

Oooh, this is a rough one for me, mostly because everyone kinda picked an even mix of stuff I love and stuff I could go either way on. Aimee squeaks it out with the ice cream sandwich/Klondike Krunch combo. (It’s close enough that had she chosen a plain, non-crunchy Klondike that might’ve been enough to change my…
